RSVP for the First NYCoRE Meeting of the School Year

It’s time for NYCoRE’s first meeting of the 2015-2016 School Year!

In the meeting we will be engaging with NYCoRE’s Points of Unity as well as our political lens.

We’ll be exploring these questions:
  • How does structural racism, Whiteness and White supremacy manifest in the public school system?
  • What does neoliberalism have to do with education reform?
  • How can we as educators resist the forces that attack public education system and how can we FIGHT THE POWER?

We’ll also have some time for Working Groups to check in and meet new members.

Please join us as we strengthen our collective political analysis and prepare for the work of this year!

Friday, September 18th

RSVP to May’s NYCoRE Working Group Meeting

Join NYCoRE for our second to last meeting of the school year. This meeting will consist of mainly working group time and report backs so you can learn about the radical work of other groups. You will have the option to choose from the following working groups below. If you want more information please attend the NYCoRE 101 where representative from each working group will be there to discuss their work.

Political Education Working Group:
This group will discuss and analyze critical texts that relate to neo-liberalism, racism, and high-stakes testing as well as design political education for the larger NYCoRE membership body.

High Stakes Testing Campaign Working Group:
This is a new group that will focus on building a campaign against high-stakes testing. In our initial state, we will focus on studying and constructing our analysis around race, neo-liberalism and testing.

Teach Dream:
We work to create safer schools for undocumented students, advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all students, increase access to resources, and lift up student activism and leadership around issues of immigration.

Curriculum Working Group:
We share lessons and strategize around how to challenge racism and oppression in a variety of education environments.

NYQueer Working Group:
NYQueer focuses on issues of gender and sexuality as they relate to school communities. We aim to support and make connections between teachers, students and community organizations engaged in the work of creating spaces where all identities are acknowledged and respected.

New Teacher Underground:
New Teacher Underground is a safe space for new or new-feeling teachers to collaborate, trouble-shoot our pedagogical practices, and bond!

Adult Educators for Social Justice:
We are educators working with adult learners; join us to share strategies for social justice pedagogy and practice within the field and to advocate, agitate, and grow together.

In addition to the working groups meeting at our monthly gatherings, there are two affinity groups of NYCoRE that meet outside of meetings.

Educators of Color Group:
We are a group of people who identify as educators of color…who advocate for a nurturing, transformative and action-driven space for educators of color to connect, learn, struggle, and heal together.

Anti-Racist White Educators Group (AWE-G):
The Antiracist White Educators Group (AWE-G) aims to cultivate a supportive yet critical space for white-identifying educators to work towards understanding, confronting and undoing racism and white supremacy in ourselves, our schools, and the larger world
